Do you have challenges with attention, impulse control, or hyperactivity?

Help for Ontario Adults Struggling with ADHD

If so, you may have ADHD. As an ADHD Therapist in Ontario, I can help you feel better about your ADHD and develop ways to work with it, not against it.

Struggling with Inattention, Impulsivity and Hyperactivity?

ADHD is a real diagnosis and not one to simply brush off as laziness or lack of focus.

About 5-8% of the global population has ADHD, meaning it’s a lot more common than you may think.

Those who have this neurodevelopmental disorder may experience:

  • More accidents

  • Living in crisis mode

  • Struggles with addiction

  • Trouble regulating attention

  • Divorce or relationship challenges

Find Ways to Manage ADHD Successfully

So, do you feel that you’re trying harder at life than everybody else and still falling farther and farther behind?

Or that you’re struggling more and more just to keep up?

And have important people in your life described you as lazy, unfocused, or unprofessional?

In ADHD Therapy, you can release the shame of living with ADHD, and find ways to manage it (that actually works).

Work With Your Brain to Calm Your Life

The truth is that ADHD isn’t just a “lack of focus.”

It’s a condition that makes it hard for you to do things that don’t excite you.

Since your behavior is controlled by your brain, we have to work with your brain to accommodate your unique challenges.

By joining therapy for ADHD, you can:

  • Learn about your brain and how ADHD affects it

  • Discover strategies to overcome persistent ADHD challenges

  • Explore the potential for short-term wins and tips that help

ADHD means your attention is different, not deficient

ADHD Can Be Tamed

For example, you may struggle to read an article that doesn’t interest you, yet devour a 500-page book that does.

The good news is that ADHD can be tamed with high-quality therapy and, for some, medication.

Whatever the case, we can define ADHD Therapy goals that are tailored to you and what you need.

Meet Our Ontario ADHD Therapist

Hi, I’m Giselle Young, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) in Ontario.

I specialize in helping folks like you to name and tame ADHD, so you can live a fulfilling, productive, connected life.

As someone with a diagnosis myself, I know both the challenges and the emotional toll that living with a mental health condition can bring.

I want you to know that you’re not alone. I believe you, see you, and hear where you’re coming from.

If you feel called, I would love to work together. Together, we can soften the parts of ADHD that bother you, as well as strengthen the good parts.

Because there's undoubtedly some good parts! We just have to find and strengthen them.

Why Choose Us Over Other Therapy Practices?

Our ADHD specialists understand that ADHD is much more than “an attention issue.”

It’s a life-altering struggle to function in ways that would benefit your life.

And it can even cause relationship harm - with others, with your partner, and with yourself.

ADHD therapy is about:

  • Getting out of crisis mode

  • Building strategies that keep your life functioning

  • Learning to live in alignment with your unique brain

We can help you with this.

How?

By reducing the emotional toll of ADHD and enhancing your executive functioning and decision-making.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does ADHD look like in adults?

ADHD in adults can look like inattentiveness, hyperactivity, disorganization, impulsivity, and difficulty coping with stress. It can look like not being able to focus at work until all coworkers have left, or avoiding small tasks like paying the water bill. If you’re concerned that some of your symptoms may be due to ADHD, I can help make that diagnosis for you, as well as develop an effective ADHD treatment plan. Together, we can get through this. Contact me using the form above and let’s get you the support you deserve.

Can ADHD get worse if untreated?

Yes, symptoms of ADHD can worsen if left untreated. ADHD can make it harder to focus, remember details, and control impulses. When not managed properly, these issues can lead to irritability, low self-esteem, and frustration. Untreated ADHD can also lead to problems in many areas of life, including mental health, relationships, and substance use. The best course of action would be to reach out for help to a competent ADHD Therapist near you. If you’re in Ontario, Canada, I’d love to support you. I also offer online ADHD therapy throughout Canada.
